Page 4: Introduction
The idea is that the failed node (or group of failed nodes) is isolated on one physical ring while the remaining good nodes continue to be interconnected over the other physical ring. Note The maximum capacity between H.100 and MC3 of 2048 timeslots is available even when MC3 PCI is operated in self-healing mode. -
